Kymco Xciting 500 Ri ABS
Kymco is a Taiwanese company with a full line of scooters in all shapes and sizes. Until this year with the arrival of the new 700i, the company’s flagship has been the Xciting 500 Ri ABS, a full-sized touring scooter that packs as many comfort and convenience features as one is likely to find on a bike of this type. That’s pretty exciting stuff for a rider who likes to travel while pinching petrol costs along the way. The Xciting offers stable handling, fast acceleration, and even an illuminated storage compartment under the seat, complete with a cellphone charging port.

Kymco Downtown 300i
Headed downtown, uptown, or parts in between? Kymco’s Downtown 300i combines the acceleration and convenience of a maxi-scooter with the agility and light weight of a sportbike.

Up front, a watertight compartment features a 12-volt accessory outlet for charging your phone, iPod, or other electric items. Meanwhile, the dash of the Downtown 300i is equipped with everything but the kitchen sink: speedometer, tachometer, odometer, tripmeter, clock, plus fuel and engine-temperature gauges.

Kymco Like 200i/Like 200i LX

This moderately sized, stylish-looking, fuel-sipping four-stroke—available in Blue/Black, Ivory, or Red—rolls on 12-inch wheels and is ideal for around-town commuting and errands. Got stuff?

Kymco Movie 150
As a newer addition to Kymco’s broad model line, the Movie 150 looks as tasty as a bucket of buttered popcorn. Even when parked, the stylish 50 will catch your eye with its great lines, but at heart it’s a handy urban commuter for anybody needing economical transportation. The built-in rear luggage rack incorporates passenger grab handles, while underneath the large, well-padded seat is a locking storage compartment. This Movie was a “new release” last year. As such, as with every scooter in Kymco’s line, it comes with a two-year, limited factory warranty that offers peace of mind.

Kymco Super 8 150/Super 8 50 2T
$2499/$2199
While the Super 8 150 has the sportiest styling in Kymco’s lineup, its good handling and stability uphold the bike’s race-inspired theme, thanks to its use of 14-inch wheels and comparatively sticky, low-profile tires. Designed first and foremost as a fun mode of inner-city transport, the 150 has all of the typical scooter convenience features, including an underseat storage compartment big enough to swallow a helmet. Also available: The Super 8 50 2T is sized and styled nearly identically to the Super 8 150 but is powered by a small 49cc two-stroke engine.
Kymco Agility 125/Agility 50
Bargain shoppers often begin their search for economical transportation with a 50cc scooter, which is fine, so long as they don't overlook one of the most affordable 125cc two-wheelers on the market. The Agility 125 backs up its sharp modern appearance with a fuel-efficient engine capable of delivering performance you don't often see in its price range. And despite its low price, it even is equipped with a front disc brake and a fuel gauge! Also available: The two-stroke Agility 50 retains the modern styling and features of the 125 but adds a unique passenger seat that flips up and becomes a rider's backrest.
$1899/$1599
Kymco Compagno 110i/Compagno 50i
With its classic European styling, the Compagno 110, which was new last year, makes even diehard Vespa aficionados take a closer look at its fairing-encased, handlebar-mounted headlight. Fuel efficiency and quiet operation are highlights of its air-cooled four-stroke motor, while underseat storage and a glove compartment deliver the sort of versatility that make scooters so ideal for scootin' around town. Also available: The two-stroke Compagno 50i shares the styling and chassis of its larger-displacement sibling but at a meaningful cost savings.
$2999/$2599
Kymco Like 50/Like 50 LX
The Like 50 is a lightweight, two-stroke-powered scooter blessed with classic European-inspired styling. There's much here to like, starting with hardware normally found on much larger scooters. This includes underseat storage, a locking glove box with a 12-volt accessory plug, a deeply padded seat for two, an easy-to-read odometer and fuel gauge, plus a large, color-matched top case. Also available: The Like 50 LX adds a bit of elegance with its two-tone color scheme and chrome trim package, but costs an additional $100.
